FRQ|Emperor Theo Wins Injustice: Gods Among Us at MLG:Anaheim 2014!

[IMakeItL00kC00L]

Doomsday still isn't viable once people learn to block him, guys.

Yet another Top 8 placement...

@Tm_whiteboi, you make the Doomsday Army proud.

All you doomsday players do is ruin our Sinestro players' fun

Anyone know where any replay footage is available? Was working during both days so i missed it all

Pig is uploading footy tomorrow. Check his twitter.

 

[Cool_Prizes]

Dude, if someone did a compilation of Theo and REO hype moments to the Power Rangers Zeo theme. I'd have to owe them everything I own forever.

I think you just gave me something to do!!!

 

[RelentlessOhio]

Ugh I'm so sick of MMH, I miss REO's Batman days. Damn DLC.

Banned


But really, your laundry list of infractions have added up, so you're actually banned. Take your persistently negative and juvenile attitude somewhere else.

grats theo you trident spamming scrub

I hate to say this, as Theo seems like a really nice dude, but I cannot help but root for his opponent in every single match. He is THE anti-hype, and I'm pretty sure that if he's in the grand finals at EVO then Injustice will never recover. He's got great fundamentals, but that is totally overshadowed by the clusterfuck of cheapness that is trident rush + trait + THE SAME GODDAMN COMBO EVERY GODDAMN TIME!!! And if he plays his secondary, what do we get? F23~breath! There's no questioning Theo's skill, but I think every match he plays on stream puts a nail into the Injustice coffin.

 

[BS3OOO]

Congrats Theo! I think it's kind of hype how he's this great force in the game and how no one expects to beat him. I'm interested in the different approaches people will take to eliminate him. Once again, congrats to the undisputed champ Theo.

 

[Fromundaman]

What happen to sonic fox and floe?
Didn't floe said he would palace top 8?

Contrats to pig for that solid top 8, and forever king Lurking in there too.

Didn't Floe say that at UFGT too?

Can we stop pretending Floe is relevant in this game?

 

[Eric The Scruffy]

Floe never said he would place top 8 guys.
Ultradavid said that...as a joke to troll us because of how flustered the community got when Floe tweeted out that he thought Batgirl might be the easiest fighting game character ever made.

That's a really brave post my friend. I believe injustice is generally a lesser quick paced game due to the character styles. Lets just say @EMPEROR_THEO is conservative, patient and efficient. GGs to everyone who attended.

 

[KIllaByte]

Where will the matches be viewable?

 

[ryublaze]

Congrats to all who made top 8 and Theo for winning. Glad to see Tyrant in top 8 as well.

 

[HammerZeit88]

Congrats to Theo. Big props to @GGA 16 Bit for taking catwomen to another top 2 finish. And props to @FOREVER KING for being the best Batman still.

Fast-paced has nothing to do with it. Actually, (and my existing posts will attest to this) I quite dislike super-fast, frenetic, rushdown play. It killed my enjoyment of Marvel. But there's a difference between fast-paced and exciting. A player like Jupiter plays pretty "slowly," in that he works hard to slow down the pace of the match. But there's a lot of unpredictability to his game that makes it very dynamic. Same can be said for 16bit. But with Theo (and I stress that this is largely due to the way Aquaman is designed, not Theo himself), it's very algorithmic. It's FtD from a distance, trait for defense, and b12~trident rush every other time. Those moves (FtD, Trident Rush, trait) are SO exploitable that nothing else is necessary. Any possible scenario can be solved by judicious application of one of those options, and it's like watching the computer play at a high difficulty.

 

[Big Pampering]

whether it is fast paced or not, I do believe playing lame is very strong in injustice.

 

[Eldriken]

I have to hand it to @EMPEROR_THEO, I've never seen a person block Earth Shake like he does.

Nothing against you but I'm tired if hearing this same old song. We heard this with REO and Pl with MK. Then we heard this with KDZ, Rico, and Jupitor. Now Theo. Very time a good player dominates with their main, the character they play/ the player makes the game boring. I don't understand why we can't just give them props and step up and try to be as good or better than them. Instead let's talk about how they and their character ruins the game.

 

[trustinme]

Despite the stream issues all the matches I saw were fantastic.props to everyone who made top 8,u all deserve a truly enjoyable day.

He is clearly the best injustice player right now and I get that especially at tournament level you play your character how best will secure the win, however this was one grand finals I wish I hadn't bothered watching. Not because I think it ruins the game just because it was extremely dull from a viewers perspective.

Congratulations to everyone who placed

 

[Filipino Man]

I had theo winning the tournament 4-1 odds, 4 to the field, 1 to theo and still no one took my bet and this was BEFORE the tournament started.

 

[ReD WolF]

Congrats to Theo and all the placers. I can't believe the entire top 8/16 wasn't streamed though. The level of competition was the highest its been to date

 

[Kyu]

CONGRATZ EMPEROR THEO !!

Could someone please put MMH's face on the one punching aquaman?

 

[TH3DISTURBED1]

Good stuff to Theo, but this was the worst streamed tournament I've ever seen. I know the stream comes second, but damn that was beyond belief.

EDIT; I did stick it through today to see Theo vs. Jupiter and that was the best Injustice match I've ever seen. Whenever someone talks smack about footsies and fundamentals in IGAU, we need to show that video.

Got a link? I didn't get to see it

 

[BS3OOO]

Yes, congrats to @16 Bit as well! When you did well at FR I was like "He probably had a favorable road, I'm happy for him." After you did well at UFGT I was like "Consecutive top 8 placements, he should never be emo about doing poorly at this game again. Nice." For you to make GF with Catwoman at the most stacked tournament to date is almost unbelievable.
